“Amanda and her husband were excellent sitters for my dog, Leo! They were super professional and I could tell they take caring for others animals very seriously and enjoy doing it. I would absolutely recommend.”

“Cindy was great with my pup Sage! She consistently sent me updates to let me know how Sage was doing, as well as lots of pics. I felt at ease while away knowing that Sage was in good hands. I will definitely use Cindy in the future and highly recommend her for boarding services!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Emily was great. I set up the stay about 2 months out because I wasn't sure how the Thanksgiving would effect finding a place for Lucy. Emily was super and answered so many questions for me. Lucy also had a great time playing with Emily's other dogs. ”
“It's really difficult to trust your baby with someone. But I could tell that Emily really loves dogs and I knew my boy would have a good weekend. I barely checked in because I could tell he was safe and happy when I left him with her. Will definitely be rebooking in the future! Thank you again!”

About: I've grown up around dogs, cats, horses, and many other animals. I have had six dogs and trained all of them to walk and do certain tricks, and did the 4-H dog program as a pre-teen, as well as four cats. I have worked with various different sizes and breeds of dogs and love them all equally. I work full-time from home, so am quite flexible with scheduling and your pups won’t be wanting for anything while visiting! I currently have two dogs of my own. The oldest is a 7 year old rescue from Thailand who is a sweetheart and would spend every second of every day getting belly rubs and sun bathing. The younger one is a 2 year old mutt I adopted 1 year ago from a rescue in VA, who is timid around other dogs at first and then loves to play with any and all ages/sizes. I am very well-practiced in taking care of dogs with medical or physical difficulties (e.g., mobility issues, skin issues, giving medications, wound dressing). I work fully remote from home so I am around all the time to ensure your pets get what they need - they won’t want for anything! I have a fenced in yard, two dogs to keep your pups company, and am able to crate your dog(s) if needed. I am around always and keep a watchful eye to ensure the safety of all pups.
“My pups had a wonderful time with Sydney. She was very attentive to them and I received many pictures and lots of communication. She was wonderful, would highly recommend.”
“Paige and Cindy were wonderful and extremely caring for my Yoshi. We are in a new city so this was their first watching him and they went out of their way to make him feel like a part of their family. 💜”
